Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Program

The DVM program is a rigorous four-year professional degree program preceded by three to four years of pre-professional study. Veterinarians protect the health of companion and production animals, as well as human health. Careers include private practice, teaching, research, regulatory medicine, public health, and military service.

The DVM educational program is a four year program. Students come to us usually with a bachelor's degree or a four year degree before entering veterinary school. We're lucky to have a very large applicant pool composed both of residents from Minnesota and non-residents from around the country. We have a number of educational programs at the college including the Doctor of VM degree (DVM), a Masters or PhD degree, and a DVM/MPH joint degree.
